Loading the racks
For best dishwashing results, 
observe the following when loading 
the dishwasher:
■ Do not pre-wash items with 
loosely attached food soil. 
■ Remove all food particles, bones, 
toothpicks and excessive grease. 
■ Pre-treat items having burned-on, 
baked-on or starchy soils. 
■ Load dishes in the dishwasher 
racks so the insides of bowls, 
pots and pans are facing the 
spray arms. 
■ Avoid nesting and contact points 
between dishes. 
■ Separate items of dissimilar 
metals. Use care to not block 
movement of the spray arms.
■ Only wash household dishware 
and kitchenware rated as 
dishwasher-safe. 
Refer to the Dishware Materials 
section for more information 
about dishware suitability.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not 
load the dishwasher with paper 
products, plastic bags, packing 
materials or anything other than 
normal, dishwasher safe dishware 
and kitchenware.
Loading the upper rack
Ensure items do not protrude through 
the bottom of the racks and block the 
spray arms.
Note: When pushing the upper 
rack 12 into the dishwasher, push it 
until it stops against the back of the 
tub so the upper rack spray 
arm 1: connects to the water 
supply at the back of the tub. Do not 
push racks in using the door.
Loading the lower rack
Place large items in the lower 
rack 1j. Load pots, pans and bowls 
upside down. Do not block the vent 
hole 1J with tall baking sheets. 
Load these items on the right side of 
the dishwasher.

Note: Folding the cup shelves down 
will allow the cups to sit at an 
increased angle and reduce water 
pooling on cup bottoms.
